TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Highway Patrol says a tight end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence.

Sgt. Steve Gaskins said in a news release that Austin Seferian-Jenkins was arrested Friday morning.

According to the release, Trooper Tabarie Sullivan was traveling in his cruiser when he saw Seferian-Jenkins enter southbound Interstate 275 going between 75 and 80 miles per hour. The release says the football player's vehicle then cut off the trooper's cruiser and began weaving back and forth.

Gaskins says Seferian-Jenkins is being charged with DUI and violation of an ignition interlock device restriction from an arrest in Washington in 2013. He refused a breath test at the Hillsborough County Jail.

Seferian-Jenkins played at the University of Washington and was drafted by the Bucs in 2014.
